Opinion

After the Sandy Hook massacre, President Obama did what politicians always do when faced with a national crisis, real or imagined: He commissioned a federal blue-ribbon commission to study past research on gun violence. Filed more than a month ago, the final report has been almost universally ignored by the news media.

For good reason. It didn't exactly toe the liberal line about gun ownership, use and control.

" wow where is all the screaming about the numbers? I guess the real facts mess their whole stance up so they all clam up and look the other way. Still trying to figure out why I should have to buy a permit to buy ammo when I have paid for and held a hunting license for over 20 years. these new permits are just a money grab by a broke government that hates guns. I would bet that they robbed all the money in the fund the special taxes on sporting goods that is suppose to go back into the outdoors and not just sucked into general fund just like gas taxes. steal our money and our rights. "

" Rob your right!!The State puts all the moneys raised from sportsmen into the General Fund. Then it turns around and CUTS stocking programs of birds and fish. Cuts conservation officers jobs, closes Parks, and make it easier to abuse bag limits. We got what THEY VOTED FOR!!! More Gun Laws that put more money into the General Fund PERIOD !!! THANK GOD for the liberals pain in the neck REPUBLICAN AMERICAN for exposing this B.S. "

" They are till trying re-fudge the facts and numbers and re-issue it in their favor....They don't publish the "Before", only the "After".The "After" will show gun violence has gone up 1000%!! Commies...... "

" It's absolutely typical. You won't hear a word from these people, I'm willing to bet. A study that is contrary to the agenda will not get press in the mainstream media. But there is no bias, right? Riiiight. And so it goes. "
